Good Beginner Electric Guitar
Finding the best beginner electric guitars online
Today, seeking out a really good beginner electric guitar is virtually a breeze.
However, finding beginner electric guitars with great, consistent build and set-up quality at an affordable price can be somewhat more of a challenge.
One brand of guitars we have found which really fits this bill to T is the Agile electric guitars.
I haven’t tested their acoustic line of guitars, but I will assume these are great value for the price also (although they don’t seem to have some better steel string acoustics though – kind of a shame…).
As far as their electrics goes, I haven’t heard anything but really great things. They are well set up, superb looking – and their prices…? Wow!
Their better models have the kind of specs that can put any US built instruments to shame any time, and at a fraction of the price for a Fender or Gibson.
Some comments about the Agile guitars
Here are some of the comments given about the Agile brand of electric guitars from the suppliers web site (rondo.com).
“The problem that I have is my wife would rather play my Agile than her Gibson. She says the Agile plays much better and sounds just as good.”
“I may have played better guitars, but not by much and NEVER at this incredible price!”
“I just wanted to tell you that this has been one of the best guitar purchases I’ve made in the past ten years.”
“(…) I just can’t believe the sound, the look or the price!”
“My personal opinion on this guitar is that it kicks its competitors in their teeth.”
“For anyone thinking about buying an Epiphone Les Paul, new or used, I urged you to seriously consider picking up one of these Agile Les Paul guitars – you will not be sorry.“
The good, the bad and the ugly?
When you’re looking to purchase a lower end guitar, either online or at a store, you may have to run through (not literally, do you hear! :) a huge number of instruments to “strike gold”. The quality really is up and down. One instrument can be gob-smacking good, while the neck from the same production run couldn’t really be fit for anything but firewood.
The Agile electric guitars seems to be built at a much higher consistent quality. So, any of these guitars have the potential of serving you well for many years to come.
I should in all fairness have to make an exception for the cheapest guitar models though. After all, a $50 guitar will probably never be an instrument fit for the likes of Eddie Van Halen or Eric Clapton.
But dude, seriously – Why in the name of Robert Johnson wasn’t some these instruments around when I first started out! Oh dear, the sad excuses for guitars we had to stick with…
If you have $200-300 or slightly more to spend on an electric guitar, one of these babies will make your goal to learn electric guitar properly and easily so much more achievable, worthwhile and downright fun.
